Anyone is welcome to help out on IRC. I don't really get your comment though. Sometimes people do not want to switch, so ehr.. they say so and I continue giving the best advice while keeping in mind that restriction. So sometimes I've said 'ask your distro'. > If you're not familar enough with Ubuntu to understand the problems > people are having with the GNOME 3 ppa then simply redirect them to the > GNOME 3 ppa mailing list, where they can find people qualified to help > with those specific issues. It wasn't about GNOME 3 ppa, it was about how to contribute to GNOME. Due note: I gave the best advice what was known to me and nobody else responded. Maybe what you suggested would've solved it, no idea, I didn't know, nobody else responded. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
